This is a wonderful, old-fashioned Southern recipe that deserves a spot on every family table. It’s simple, comforting, and full of that made-from-scratch flavor we all grew up with. Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight supper or bringing a dish to a church potluck, this one never disappoints.
I’m excited to share it with you because it’s also one of the 80-plus recipes featured in my new book, Sweet Tea and Second Helpings. Inside, you’ll find dishes just like this—easy to prepare, rooted in tradition, and perfect for gathering the people you love around the table.

Sweet Tea and Second Helpings: Recipes and Stories from the Heart
It truly feels like a dream come true—my very own book with Hoffman Media! This full-color hardback is over 250 pages long and filled with 20–30 heartfelt stories and more than 80 recipes (including many you’ve never seen me make before!).
This book is a little different from my previous ones. In the past, my cookbooks were self-published, which meant I could restock anytime. But this one is printed only from pre-orders. That means if you want a copy, you’ll need to order before they go to print. At checkout you’ll enter your payment information, but your card will not be charged until the book ships around March 13th. All payments and communication will go directly through Hoffman Media.
Pre-orders open November 26 and run through January 4th.Books are expected to arrive March 13th, 2026. Since they print only what is pre-ordered, make sure to reserve your copy if you want one.
You can order using the button below or by calling Hoffman Media’s Customer Service team at 1-800-361-8059. The price is $39.95 plus $6.95 shipping.
I can’t wait for you to hold this book in your hands. It’s been such a labor of love, and I’m so grateful to share it with you. 💛
